The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a trickling waterfall, a soft pan flute and just the right medication to level off your afternoon poker news serotonin levels.

Want the latest news and gossip emanating from the center of the poker universe in Las Vegas, Nevada? Here's where it's at.

Today in the 3-Bet we find Phil Hellmuth drifting into either a meditative state or the early stages of a breakdown, George Danzer shows Oleksii Kovalchuk what's what and a well known poker pro joins the prestigious $10m in live earnings club.

Specifically, he said Danzer would never win one - or, strangely, ever finish higher than 7th.

An odd mistake in translation or not, fast forward three weeks later and Danzer has made the 2014 WSOP his own personal stomping ground.

Bracelet win? Check. Two final tables? Check. Leading the POY race? Check. Now leading the $10k Stud Hi-Lo Championship with 13 players left? Check.

We don't know if Danzer even saw Kovalchuk's contempt but he's easily been one of the most impressive players in Vegas this summer. He even taught German footballer Max Kruse how to play Lowball and watched him run it up all the way to a third-place finish in Event #36.

Whatever the reason, Danzer has the WSOP magic right now and you might want to go by his table to see if it'll rub off. Check back later today for an interview with Danzer too.

3) Joe Cada: $10m Man

Only 26 players in poker history have "officially" (read: based on Hendon Mob tracking) earned over $10m in live poker tournament cashes.

On the brink and likely to get over the hump himself this summer? Erick Lindgren, who sits at $9,990,341. Also in the neighborhood are Joe Cheong, Phil Gruissem, Sorel Mizzi and Tony Gregg. Check the full list here.
